Definitions
- the present invention relates to surface enhancement in heat exchangers. More specifically, the present invention relates to a phase change heat exchanger having heat transfer surfaces coated with hyperthermophilic bacteria.
- boiling Due to latent heat at phase change, boiling corresponds to an increased amount of heat removed from surfaces of heat exchangers used in boiling heat transfer. It is generally demanded to find ways to obtain highly effective heat removal systems involving boiling heat transfer.
- advances in manufacturing, nanotechnology and surface treatment engineering have led to micro/nanostructured surfaces for augmenting boiling heat transfer from heated surfaces (as in Li, C, et al., Nanostructured copper interfaces for enhanced boiling, small, 2008. 4(8): p. 1084- 1088).
- MWCNTs multi walled carbon nanotubes
- Hoodoo is the name of a kind of surface structure, which was utilized by Bon et al. (The Hoodoo: A New Surface Structure for Enhanced Boiling Heat Transfer. Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applications, 2013. 5(1): p. 011003-011003). Hoodoo had a great effect on enhancement of boiling heat transfer, activation of nucleation sites and reaching to a critical heat flux, which imposes a limit for benefitting from boiling heat transfer.
- Boiling has many industrial applications including power generation, refrigeration and cooling systems, as reported by Rainey et al. (Effect of Pressure, Subcooling, and Dissolved Gas on Pool Boiling Heat Transfer From Microporous Surfaces in FC-72. Journal of Heat Transfer, 2003. 125(1): p. 75-83).
- One of the main applications of pool boiling systems is cooling in fuel cells.
- EVs electric vehicles
- FCVs fuel cell vehicles
- an IC package is employed as electronic power equipment such as an inverter.
- Primary object of the present invention is to overcome the abovementioned shortcomings of the prior art.
- Another object of the present invention is provision of heat transfer surfaces enabling enhanced heat removal in boiling of a heated liquid.
- the present invention proposes a heat exchanger with a heat transfer surface provided with hyperthermophilic bacteria, which can be from the genera Archaea, which can further be from the genus Sulfolobus, and which can further be from the species Sulfolobus solfataricus.
- the heat exchanger can be adapted to pool-boiling heat transfer.
- Figure 1 schematizes an exemplary pool boiling experimental setup for testing the performance of the coating in heat removal from its heat transfer surfaces.
- Figure 2 shows comparative graphs of (a) wall superheat vs. heat flux, and (b) heat flux vs. heat transfer coefficient values obtained from bare Silicon surfaces and biocoated surfaces on a heat exchanger according to the present invention.
- Figure 3 shows bubbles generation at boiling on (a) bare/uncoated surfaces and (b) surfaces partly coated with Archaea colonies; (c) SEM photograph of Archaea colony coated on a heat transfer surface portion emphasized on Fig.2(b).
- the present invention proposes a heat exchanger with a heat transfer surface provided with hyperthermophilic bacteria, which is preferably from the genera Archaea, more preferably from the genus Sulfolobus, and even more preferably from the species Sulfolobus solfataricus.
- the heat exchanger is preferably adapted to pool-boiling heat transfer.
- the present invention proposes employment of Archaea coatings on heat exchanger surfaces for performance enhancement in pool boiling heat transfer.
- This type of coating is organic and biocompatible and is also adaptable to different applications, where performence enhancement is sought.
- Archaea are known as one of the three main domains of life, and it is also divided into five phyla. Archeal cells have similar characteristics as eubacteria such as unicellular morphology. They have a circular chromosome and resemble to eukaryotic cells due to the their metabolisms such as DNA replication and transcription (Ciaramella et a!, Molecular biology of extremophiles: recent progress on the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, 2002. 81(1-4): p. 85-97; Bell and Jackson, Transcription and translation in Archaea: A mosaic of eukaryal and bacterial features. Trends in Microbiology, 1998.
- Archeal cells have very unique survival ability under physiologically harsh conditions such as low or high temperatures (e.g. between -2°C to 15°C or between 60°C to 122°C), high salinity (such as 2M to 5M of NaCI) and extreme pH values (lower than 4 and also higher than 9) (DOI: 10.1139/W05-147; J Bacteriol. 1995 Dec; 177(24): 7050-7059; and DOI: 10.1126/science.1086823).
- physiologically harsh conditions such as low or high temperatures (e.g. between -2°C to 15°C or between 60°C to 122°C), high salinity (such as 2M to 5M of NaCI) and extreme pH values (lower than 4 and also higher than 9) (DOI: 10.1139/W05-147; J Bacteriol. 1995 Dec; 177(24): 7050-7059; and DOI: 10.1126/science.1086823).
- Sulfolobus solfataricus belongs to the phylum Crenarchaeota. It was first isolated from Pisciarelli Solfatara in Italy (10.1016/0014- 5793(88)80769-5). Sulfolobus solfataricus is an irregular and lobe-shaped archaeon having a size about 0.2 to 2 pm, grows optimally at 80 - 85 °C and has a pH of around 3 while maintaining intracellular pH around 6.5 and can utilize variable carbon sources to maintain cellular homeostasis (J Bacteriol. 1989 Dec; 171(12): 6710-6719). This robust and heat resistant microorganism is a good candidate for organic industrial coating purposes, which constitutes the motivation behind the invention. .Experimental setup
- FIG.l An exemplary pool boiling experimental setup for testing the performance of the coating in heat removal from its heat transfer surfaces, is schematicized in Fig.l.
- the setup is designed to imitate a heat exchanger having a heat transfer surface which requires high heat fluxes such as those to be cooled using pool boiling.
- the setup comprises a heating surface (10) on a conductive body (20) which can be in form of a plate, preferably comprising a material with high heat transfer coefficient such as metals e.g. aluminium.
- the setup can be provided with thermocouples, cartridge heaters, gasket sealers and a reflux condenser (none shown).
- the setup can comprise a receptacle (30) for holding a liquid to be boiled.
- the conductive body (20) can have holes for inserting one or more heater such as cartridge heaters, which can at least partly cover a side of the conductive body, mainly perpendicular to an intended heat flow direction for provision of heat (referred to as "Q" in the Fig.l).
- the conductive body (20) can further comprise holes (not shown) for temperature measurement device(s) (not shown), such as thermocouples located at said side of the conductive body.
- the heater(s) can be press-fitted into the holes, while conductive silicon grease can be utilized to fill gaps between heaters and the inner walls of the holes.
- Holding means such as holder plates can be used to restrict the positions of the receptacle (30) and the heater(s) relative to each other.
- An upper side of the setup can comprise one or more hole or conduit for filling up the receptacle (30) with fluid, for inserting a thermocouple (not shown) to measure bulk temperature of the fluid (not shown), and for connecting a condenser (e.g. a reflux condenser, not shown) to the receptacle (30) for condensing and returning boiled fluid back into the receptacle (30).
- a condenser e.g. a reflux condenser, not shown
- Gasket sealers resistant to high temperatures can be used between the edges of the receptacle (30), edges of the heater(s) and of the upper plates to prevent any leakage as well as between the heater and holding means to prevent heat dissipation.
- Any gap between outer and inner tubes of the condenser can be filled with a fluid (e.g. water) to condense vapor escaping through the inner tube, which can be open to atmosphere to keep the process under atmospheric pressure.
- the volume of liquid in the receptacle (30) was measured before and after each test to monitor the amount of liquid used in pool boiling experiments. It was observed that a vertical reflux condenser as described above was efficient and the amount of water remained nearly the same after each experiment.
- Current and voltage used in energizing the heater can be adjusted using a digital power supply (not shown) with multimeters, which can nowadays provide high precision.
- the power supply can be directly connected to heaters, e.g. cartridge heaters. All of the fluid and surface (10) temperatures and power readings were recorded under steady state conditions. To make sure about the repeatability, each experiment was repeated for several times.
- biocoated surfaces provide numerous active nucleation sites (11), from where a high number of bubbles can emerge and depart from the surfaces, and this corresponds to an enhanced heat transfer to the fluid due to removal of phase change heat.
- the inventors first examined the structure of Sulfolobus solfataricus colonies under fluorescent microscopy either with visible or fluorescent light. Archeae colonies (corresponding to the active nucleation sites 11) were obtained under sustained optimal conditions and then a sample of the culture medium was examined under microscopy using DAPI (4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) as staining.
- DAPI 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole
- Wall superheat (difference between wall temperature and saturation temperature) and heat transfer coefficients for hyperthermophylic bacteria (here: archaea) coated and bare silicon surfaces are shown in Fig.2. According to the test results, heat transfer enhancement using bacteria coated surfaces was 20% higher relative to uncoated surfaces. Generated bubbles from bare silicon and Archaea coated samples are shown in Fig.3. Due to the porous structure of the bacteria, the coated surfaces have much more active nucleation sites (11) in comparison to the bare silicon surface. Bubble dynamics on coated and uncoated surfaces was visualized and analyzed using a high speed camera.
- the inventors have found an increase in active nucleation site density (number of sites that bubble generate and merge) at biocoated regions with Archaea colonies leading to heat transfer enhancement, and bubble interaction during the departure emerged as an important factor.
- the bubbles on biocoated surface portions emerge and grow to a full size more rapidly then on uncoated surface portions, and therefore leave the heat transfer surface earlier.
- This agitation causes further liquid displacement in the vicinity of the biocoated surface portions, thus enhances the temperature gradient and further enhances the convective heat transfer coefficient around said portions.
- Many surface enhancement techniques such as pin-fin arrays, reentrant cavities, and surface treatments increasing porosity are already available in the literature for conventional size tubes.
- the biocoating can be also easily used on closed geometries such as microtubes, where physical deposition techniques are not applicable.
- Metal surfaces comprising Al or Fe mainly found in form of their oxides reside positive charges on their surfaces. Many organic molecules reside carboxyl and amine groups, which are negatively and positively charged, respectively.
- the coating used in the present invention changes the net charge of the surface. Archaea have hydrophobic regions on their surfaces and like the charges, hydrophobicity of a surface (such as a metal surface as mentioned above) may be manipulated by application of archaea coatings thereon. Thus, the coating used in the present invention further provides combinatory solutions, against the problems which other conventional coating materials fail.
- Sulfur acts as the final electron acceptor rather than oxygen in the respiration of the archea named Sulfolobus solfataricus. Metabolically, Sulfolobus solfataricus depends on these sulfur containing compounds to produce energy either heterotrophic or autotrophic.
